As the months continue to fly by and we head into December, Pensacola begins buzzing once again with numerous parades, classic Christmas caroling, lights at the zoo and state park, and other festive events for the holidays.
December offers everything from Santa riding on a jet ski through Santa Rosa Sound to Pensacola Beach and a magical parade of boats strung with twinkling lights, to a traditional Christmas parade which winds through the streets of historic downtown and caroling under the massive oaks in Olde Seville Square. You can even end the year with a bang by watching a 30-foot illuminated pelican descend 100 feet on Palafox Place at the stroke of midnight.
